Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
laid down His sweet head

The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing,
the poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus,
no crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus,
look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
‘til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
to live with Thee there
